The second annual Just the Beginning Foundation (JTBF) Summer Legal Institute came to a close with a parent-guardian reception and awards presentation on Friday, July 13, at the T. Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit.

The week-long pipeline program was designed to provide high school students who aspire to become lawyers with an introduction to the rule of law and the legal profession.

It was presented by the Chicago-based Just the Beginning Foundation (www.jtbf.org), in partnership with Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Oakland University, Walmart, the Federal Bar Association for the Eastern District of Michigan, Dickinson Wright, Miller Canfield, and Kaplan Test Prep Services.
